The country markets, held on Saturday, were firm for wheat, and prices advanced is per quarter. Limited sup plies of spring corn were on sale, and the quotations had an upward tendency. Flour somewhat improved in value. At New York good and prime wheat continue in demand for export to Great Britain, at further enhanced rates. On the Continent the trade generally is firm. Limited supplies of home-grown produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 17,649 quarters of wheat, 5.459 barley, 31,825 oats, 1,191 peas, 2,491 linseed, 4,981 oilseeds, 2,300 maize, 50 sacks, and 2,634 barrels of fbur. Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of home grown produce, both from Essex and Kent, were very moderate. Owing to the dissolution of the Conference on Saturday, factors demanded 2s per quarter money for all qualities, Millers, however, appeared disposed to abstain from making purchases till after the course intended to be pursued by Government is made pub lic; consequently, very little business has been transacted, and at the close of business only a small portion of the sup ply had been disposed of, at an advance in prices, compared with Monday last, of is per quarter. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was very mo derate. Both continental and American qualities were hold at considerably enhanced rates. Millers, however, op orated to a limited extent in all descriptions, and prices ruled in several instances nominal. The small amount of business done was at an advance of is per quarter from Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm. Wheat and oats were decidedly higher in price, the former to the extent of Is per quarter. The flour trade was firm, and both English and foreign qualities commanded ratuer more money. The supply of English barley on sale was small—of foreign moderate. On the whole the trade was firm, at fully late rates. Beans—the supply of which on sale was small—changed hands at extreme rates. Peas fully supported last Monday's quotations, with a moderate demand. The market w 4; scantily supplied, The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. B.th for home-grown and foreign descriptions there was a steady demand, and prices wore 6J, in some instances ls, per quaver higher than on Monday last.

Our markets to-day was tolerably well supplied with foreign stock, bat its general quality was inferior. Sales, however, progressed steadily at very full prices. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate, and there was a falling off in quality compared with several previous weeks. The re ceipts from Aberdeen were 92, from Fifeshire, &c., 212 Scots and crosses in excellent condition. Primo Scots, crosses, &c., changed hands freely at an advance of 2i per 81bs. Most other breeds were quiet at late rates. The ge neral top figure was 5s per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,900 Scots and crosses, including a few short horns; from other parts of England, 9JO various breeds ; from Scotland, 304 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 90 oxen and heifers. There was about an average number of sheep in the pens ; but most breeds come to hand in middling condition. Prime Downs and half-breds moved off steadily at full prices; but inferior breeds met a slow sale at barely late rates. The general top figure was bs 2d per Blbs. A few very superior Downs realised 5s 4d. Prime lambs commanded full quotations with a heady demand. Inferior lambs were dull on former terms. Calves were in moderate supply, and slow request at late rates, viz., from 4s to 5s per B.bs. The pork trade was heavy on former terms. Per Blbs. to sink the offal. e. d. R. d. s.

Burgess, 83 E, said that on Friday evening he went to the prisoner's lodgings in Buckingham-street, Marylebone, and there saw a pint, measure, a half-pint, and several pieces of metal, the remains of pewter pots. On the flJor there was a large iron ladle, which had evidently been thrown on the flior off the fire, metal being scattered all about the room, the carpet where it had been thrown, but on which some water had been poured, was also smoking, being partly on fire. The prisoner had made his escape, and, although he had tried his utmost, he was not success ful in finding him until yesterday (Sunday), when he went to No. 23, Northumberland-street, Marylebone, and having waited a short time, the prisoner walked in. He told the prisoner that he should charge him with stealing a pint pot from the Adam's Arms. The prisoner said " Wait a bit," and then took two pewter measures from his pocket, at the same time staling they were pots he had hed beer in. He then took the pri soner into custody when he offered him (1 he constable) 63., telling him that he would also get £2 from his brother, which he would also give him to let him go. At the room the prisoner was also occupying in Northumberland -street, he found a frying-pan with the remains of pewter in it. On the way to the station the prisoner said the ladle was his property, and on his telling him that he had been to his other lodging in Buckingham-street, he said that he had left that place because it was getting too warm for him. He found on the prisoner some silver money and some pieces of pewter, Mr George Osborn, of the Adam's Arms, Hampstead street, Fitzroy-square, identified one of the measures as his property, and said the prisoner was in, his house en Friday afternoon. Mr Thomas Harris, of the Warwick Arms, Lipson grove, also identified a measure. The prisoner was at his house yesterday, and in the evening the measure was missed, John Whiting, barman to Mr Words, of the Pitt's Head, corner of Paddington-street, identified a measure as the property of his employer. The prisoner was at the house yesterday at one o'clock, and in the evening the measure was missed. Mr F. Davey, of the Lord Nelson, tipper Charlotte. street, said the prisoner called at his house and took away his metal water jug, went to the Adun's Arms, and there dropped it and on picking it up said he had it to repair, and that ho should be happy to repair any of the landlord's. Mr Knox having cautioned the prisoner, he said that all the measures he had from the different houses with beer in them, and that as for melting lead, he did that on his premises as a plumber.

A SILLY CAPTAIN.—Mary Miller, a Ratcliff-highway girl, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with steal ing a silver watch, valued at £G, and 30s in silver, from the person of John Uerfect, the master cf the sloop Ebenezer, lying in the London dock. She was also charged with biting Alfred Herbert, No 210 H. It appeared that Captain Perfect was out on a cruise a few days since, and met with the prisoner, who took him in tow, and he accompanied her to a public-house in Ratehff highway, where he treated her with lots of grog. A couple of darheys, as Ethiopian serenaders (white men with their faces blackened) indulged the couple with music, and Captain Perfect, who was (pito delighted with their strains, took frem his pocket 13 or 14 half-crowns and gave them some money. He fell asleep directly after wards, and when he was aroused by the landlord, his sweet heart was gone, the musicians had vanished, and his silver watch, valued at £6, and all his money had disappeared. His go.d chain was hanging loess in front of him. The prisoner was subsequently taken into custody. She resisted being searched by Mrs Crosier, the female searcher, and assaulted her. Herbert, a constable, No. 210 H, west to the assistance of Mrs Crosier, and the prisoner attacked him and bit his hand. Mr Joseph Levy, the landlord of the Kettle Drum, Ratcliff-highw3y, said the captain of the Ebenezer was only in his house a few moments. He was informed the two darkeys took Captain Perfect's watch, and the prisoner took his u_oney. Mr Partridge said the captain was a silly fellow to go to sleep in a public -house with motley and a silver watch with gold chain about him. Ile was only surprised that the gold chain was not stolen. It would be useless to send this case for trial. He discharged the prisoner as far as the felony was concerned, and committed her to prison for a month for the assault. MT SISTER'S GOLD WATCH, Amelia Harwood, a well known thief, was brought befor e Mr Partridge charged with stealing a gold watch, value £lO, a silk neckerchief, and' a silk pocket-handkerchief from the person of Thos. Croxon, a seamen, of No. 3, Forest-vale, Sydeuhatn. The prosecutor said he had been at sea seven years. He lived with his sister in Forest -vale. On Friday he came to Ratcliff-highway to see the fun and the girls. He borrowed his sister's gold watch to wear and look Einar.. Ho met the prisoner, and she took him home to 3, Elbow-lane, Shadwell. He soon fell asleep, an d when he awoke his sister's gold watch, his neckerchief, his handkerchief, his purse and 25s in silver were mi ss i ng . He accused the prisoner with taking his pioperty and money, and she said "If I don't give up everything you will say I stole it." She delivered to him his purse empty, a pawnbroker's duplicate relating to his sister's gold watch, and another duplicate relating to his rilk neckerchief. The witness then identi fied his property. , The prisoner-I.ou gave me leave to pawn the things. • Witness—No, I did raqt. ; the go ld watc h is, my sister's. Edmund Child, pawnbroker, nigh•street, Shadwell, said the gad watch produced was p awned b y t h e pr i soner on Friday afternoon for 305,, and the silk neckerchief pro duced for 2s. 6d. Jas. Fry, a police-constable, No, 431 K, produced Croxon's silk pocket handkerchief, and said it was left in a gin shop, said she had leav e and license to pawn the p d e r n an u k y . worth of gin, which the prisoner and in h w hT r p o a h c l e o w e companions f p r f i a t o sh n r o : n o s enixrs property. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner gave a fictitious name and address when she pawned the watch and neckerchief. There was no doubt 8115 pawned everything produced with out the consent of the foolish sailor she inveigled into her ladgings. He fined her 20 s. and watch,for illegally pawning, and in def au l t o f paymen t one month's imprlsonwent. 410, the value of the THE FEDERAL AND CONFEDERATE LOSSES IN VIRGINIA. —Tho Richmond Disp a t c h of June 9 gives the following comparative estim ate o f t h e l os ses in the two armies.—"We think it may be safely asserted that, since war first became known to mankind, no General over sacri ficed his men so recklessly, so remorsel ess l y, an d to so little purpose as Gen. Grant. Ho started f rom hi s ca mp on the nor th side of the Rappahannock littl e more th an a month ago with 130,000 men. He has been reinforced, according to Y more th an 80,000 knee that n s sent him 25,000 veterans after time—viz., it the e esbt—taarttelfz statements o te u f St t ta ll a on e ft loh2ni friends, saysn of he b May; Butler has sent him 20,000, and prisoners say he has received 40,000 from Ohio and other sources, making a total of 85,000. Yet his army at this day, in the olinion of those best qualified to judge, does not greatly exceed 100,000 men, and is certainly greatly inferior in numbers to what it was when he started on his crusade. He lost 75,000 in Spottsylvania, and his losses in Hanover cannot have Wen very far short of 25,000, Thus he has sacrificed 100,000 men, the flower not only of his own troops, but of the whole United States army. In return he has effected nothing, absolutely nothing. Leo's entire loss since the campaign oßened does not amount to 17,000, all told, killed. wounded, and missing. He bas never once been forced from a position, and has only fallen back when his enemy, despairing of victory, has attempted to slide off to his left, and get in his rear, without Int ther fighting. Grant in the meantime has been brought up before iWClellan's old lines beyond the Chiekahominy, and is not able to take a single step in advance. He has thrown away 100,00 men to obtain what he could have had for nothing." SPORTING NOTES; The Odiham meeting las.t week was well attended by the Upper Ten Thousand, but the Fields for the various races were comparatively small. The Hurstborne Stakes opened the ball, anl produced five runners of such equal pretension's that their owners had rot the courage to stand them, 3 to 1 being offered on the field at the fall of the flag. Eugenie and Purity apparently had the most admirers, and lift off equal favourites; but the majority of backers being afraid to take them singly, coupled them, and then they were doomed to defeat by Discretion, who, it will be recol lected, cut up very badly at Harpenden and again at Hampton, where she ran second to Victorious by permis sion. The South-Western Plate which followed, brought out the lot entered, and resulted in a second turn-up for the fielders by the success of Signal, a good-looking three year-old colt, by Vedette out of Maid of Lincoln. He was a cast-off from T. Brown's stable, having been got rid of for 10 soya as utterly worthless; but from the very easy manner in which ho cut down his field, comprising two such warm favourites es Lady Nichol and the highly-tried Hope, from John Day's, he readily found a new owner in Mr.G. Angell, at 190 guineas, and thereby benefited the fund 160 soya, The Dogmeisfield Park Stakes presented in its results one of those enigmas that occ isionlly turn up in racing, and which completely upset public running Out of the dozen appearing on the telegraph, a third of the number were in request in the ring ; Purity, from the unaccountable manner in which she cut up in the opening race of the day, was almost friendless, her starting solely depending upon her trainer, who could not believe in the truth of that race, and who, although she was meeting. Discretion upon 21b worse terms than meths first occasion, expressed his opinion that the running would be reversed. His opinion was correct, as Mr Nightingall'ifilly was never in the race, Purity winning in the most hollow style by a length from Doeford, the latter finishing three lengths in advance of Virtuous. The Handicap, as compared with former years, was a great failure, and produced but five run ners out of the dozen coloured on the card; but if the field was scant it was amply compensated for by the close and exciting contest it produced between the ever-doubtful Aurelian and the game Redcap, the pretensions of the two being so evenly balanced that each of their respective owners hedged his stake upon his adversary. The result was in favour of Aurelian, Goater, we imagine, out-riding T. Clark at the finish. The Bibury Meeting was also well attended, A 1100 Plato, ono mile, was the first on the card, and the first of those surprises which the backers of favou rites experienced during the day. It looked "a moral" for Manrico, but Principal, with Bst 61b, had the best of it all the way, and won as he liked, both the favourite and Little Savage never having a chance. In the 10 soya Sweepstakes the clever division quite overlooked Overstone, and pinned their faith on Reindeer and Walloon, the latter of whom made the running, Overstone coming out at the dip and winning in a canter. He was bought in for a pony above his selling price. In the Five Furlongs Sweepstakes Becky Sharp and Volatile, who had a see-saw for the position of favourite, cut up very badly; indeed there were only two in it, Vabalanthus and Confederate, Lord Uxbridge's colt winning, after a good race, by half a length. Lord Ports mouth's filly has not improved on her two-year-old form. There was a fair muster in the Champagne, and one or two very good-looking ones among . the lot; Lisette, on the strength of her racing look, being backed at evens against the field. She is by Yellow Jack, and has fine action. Missionary is an undeniably fine colt s but his day is net yet. The Duke of St. Albans had something vary neat in Trapeze, and Cordelia and Rothomago looked as if thny could gallop a bit, which one of them did, for the favourite beg beaten at the dip the issue appeared to be left to Missionary' and the French young one, until at the stand a brown filly wag seen to shoot out from the ruck, which proved to he Cordelia, the stable companion of Lisette : she soon disposed of the two leaders and won easily. This was another great turn for the fielders, though some of the leading bookmakers grumbled a good deal, and declared they had b, en done badly; in fact, the betting was limited all day. The Bibury Stakes used to see a better field then the four who saddled for it. Welbeck and Suspicion were about equal favourites, the former with the call. General Hess looked going well, but retired at the distance, and Mr Bevili's horse won very easily. The first year of the Sixth Stockbridge Biennial, which on this occasion was included in the Bibury pro gramme, was the interesting event of the day, and appro priately wound up the proceedings. Report had credited Lord Hastings with "a clinker" in The Duke, and though the Danebury stable lied not carried its colours in front as yet, there was some chance that there would be no mistake this time. Fifteen came to the post, and it is sufficient here to say that it was a very easy affair for the f ivourite, who came through his horses, and with only Wild Boy—whom he shook off without difficulty—near him, won in a canter. He was immediately of ter wade second favourite for the Derby, but Liddington will heat him whenever they meet. At the Stockbridge Meeting Cambuscan and Ely fought their Derby battle over again, where the latter reversed positions with Lord Stamford's horse. The Stockbridge Cup next claimed attention--and a very pretty thing, by the way, the said Cup is, elegant in design and execution, and calling up bad comparisons with the vulgar and poverty stricken thing that did duty for a cup at ascot this year. this, again, was a surprise. Gertarea ran very badly, suc cumbing to the weight; Old Orange Girl, the second tavauri,e, not showing well in the race, which fell to The Clown; Birch Broom, who looked going well at the dig. tance, dying away when called upon. Perhaps the Beaufort Handicap was the race best worth seeing, from the magni ficent way in which Fairwater disposed of all her competi tors, with the top weight of Oat, over two as severe miles, if not the severest, as there are in England. Redcap, to whom she gave 3st minus 21b, made the running for the first mile and a half, when Custance sent the old mare to the front, and Catch 'em• Alive, and indeed everything else being out of the race at the distance, she won in gallant style with certainly a stone in hand a great performance. It was a splendid sight to see her gallop as she did over the heavy ground with a free action not exhibited by any other animal. A sad accident in the next race threw a gloom over the afternoon's proceedings. Young Clark, a very promising boy from the Danebury stable, was riding Lord Ronald, who bolted with him, flung him heavily, and falling upon him, injured him so severely as to necessitate his being immediately conveyed to John Day's house in a carriage in a state of insensibility, the surgeon who attended him giving but faint hopes of his re covery. Lord Ronald had been the favourite prior to this, but it was now regarded as a certainty for Herchell, from his previous performance at Bath and Salisbury, and he won as he liked. On Fridal the Visitors' Plate saw ago .:d race between Olivia and Catch-'em-Aiive, the mare winning cleverly in the last 200 yards. General Hess broke down. It looked a very good thing for Damascus on paper in the 6 Soya Sweepstakes, and Perry getting away in front with the best of the start, 'and only Erythia near him, won in a canter. Another accident marked to-day's proceedings. The Tribute filly flung Mordan over the rails on her way to the post, and gave him a severe shaking, but happily no bones were broken. The Troy Stakes produced a good-looking field. Gardevisure, Tennyson, Kmaig, and Sydmonton (a very neat-looking colt of Lord Portsmouth's) amongst them. Gardevisure of course was the favourite, though it was looked upon as just upon tho cards that the duke might pull it off with Kcenig. He was looking very well and im proved since Ascot. Tennyson seemed a little above him self, and as if he did not quite like the work. Sydmonton, who played Wells such a trick on 'Wednesday, showed again to- day, and behaved better, a very neat-looking bay, with white logs and many good points of a racer about him. The race was a goad one between the favourite and lissnig, Fordham coming with one of his rushes and nearly snatch ing victory from Gardevisure, whose jockey appeared to us to draw it a little too fice, winning only by a head. She is certainly a beauty, with a low gliding untiring action, that tells on this severe course. This race is to be run again at Newmarket during the Second October Meeting, The Uxbridge Plate was thought just the distance for Lady Clifden ; but she did noe run kindly, the race being left to Soapstone and Confederate, the former appearing to have the best of it at the distance, but declining when called upon, and Confederate won easily. In the Gentleman's Derby Mr. Bevill favoured us with a specimen of good riding, by bringing out Joao at the finish and defeating Welbeck by a head. Neither Tippler nor Trumps showed in the race, the latter being beaten off. The Stewards' Plate was a rare surprise for the London bookmakers, as Tippler's name was never mentioned in connection with the race, the only two backed being Lord Zetland and Fair water, between whoni an exciting race was anticipated. the public have a decided right to know on what condi tions Tippler walked over, and how the stakes were divided. General Peel, Clarissimus. and another of Lord Glas gow's horses (the Senorita colt), has been removed from old Tom Dawson's stables to John Scott's, at Melton. The Worcester Meeting commences to-morrow, the principal event being the 'Worcestershire Handicap. Fan tail and Exchequer have the best of the weights, and ought to produce the winner between them. The former is cer tain to stay the distance,' and I give her the decided pre ference of the two. On Wednesday the Northumberland Plate is sot for de cision. The field will in all likelihood comprise the follow ing :—C Ou, Oldminster, Limosina, Borealis, Honest John, Trust, Alice, Tottenham, Baktchi Semi. Found Again, Sir Ltoger, Whatfinger, and Lady Trafford. Sir Roger looks very like being an absentae. He was made first favourite on Saturday, but to-day he has been sent to the outside division. It he goes to the post I should prefer him to anything in the race. Baktchi Seral has been heavily supported daring the last week, and if money will made a horse win ho ought to nearly land the good thing for his supporters. Caller Ou is not able to give the weight to Baktchi Serai. Borealis will likely run to as sist Caller On. Trust has been occasionally supported, and is almost certain to get a situation, if he does not turn up the absolute winner. Alice with her light weight is bound to run forward. Honest John will find the company too good. I cannot expect the same luck as last year, when I placed the first three in precisely the same position as the judge, but on this occasion he will in all likelihood place— BAKTCHI SERAI TRUST CALLER OU 3 Tho Corporation, and the other small events are not worth passing an opinion on.

This feat accomplished, the representative Whigs and big wigs made an inspection of the brewery, and at every step of their progress Lord Brougham acted as expounder, demonstrator, and spokesman, so that it soon became a question with his friends whether Truman, Hanbury, Buxton, and Company had not been suddenly rolled into one and compressed within his lordship's mighty cranium, for he actually appeared to know more about the place, the machinery, the chemistry, and even the trade, than the practical heads of the several depart meats, Here they encountered a force pump, used for raising water, or no matter for what purpose. His lordship at once explained the peculiarities of the engine, its capacity and capability; talked about it, in fact, just like an experienced engineer. So it was whichever way they turned, till they came to the mashing vats, and there it was expected ho would break down. But no; he knew all about the chemistry of worts, explained off hand the effects of temperature and fer mentation on the flavour of ales, the influence of soils and seasons on the qualities of malt and hops, and thence on the values of the brewing& ; and, in fact, illuminated Mr. Booth, the then brewer to the firm, and one of the soundest operative chemists of the day. Then among the merry party there ran a buzz to this effect, " Wait till Brougham gets among the horses—he knows nothing About horses; we shall have the laugh of him there." Yes, catch a weasel asleep, or a Scotch philo sopher data; or 904; and then tell it in Gath and else where. Brougham knew as much about the horses as the master of the stables ; could select instanter those that were strongest, those that were weakest, those purest bred, and those of corrupt lineage; and thereupon the party gave up all hope of discovering his weak point, and allowed him to participate in the convivialities of the occasion without further torture.—.7ltbberd's Gardening Magazine. OBSOLETE PUNISHMENTS.—Our old chroniclers speak very familiarly of " pillorising, carting, riding, whipping," and these course forms of punishment seem to have been impartially administered. In 1560, Mr. Church and his man were set on the pillory at Westminster (the master was a justice of the peace), for wrong-doing in his office and for slandering the Privy Council. Soon after, a skinner of Southwark underwent the like ordeal, with a piper over his head containing his indictment, whence it appeared that he had long deceived the public by soothsaying and divers im moral practices. In 1563, a woman that kept the Rose Tavern at St. Katherine's Tower, for having raw and cooked meat in her house in Lent, appeared in the pillory, while four women who partook of the forbidden meats, were set in the stocks all night. Women convicted of being in curable scolds were paraded through the streets seated on ass or horse back, with their faces to the tail, and wearing a sort of gag cr bridle in their mouths, so contrived that when they attempted to speak it would severely lacerate the tongue of the sufferer. For yet more culpable incontinence, the miserable creature was ex posed in some public thoroughfare holding a lighted taper, her feet bare and an accusatory label on her head. while she implored mercy for her transgressions. 'We doubt whether the moral effect of such exLibitions was at all satis factory. Te eat flesh in Lent without a dispensation was held to be a very serious crime. •In pursuance of a procla mation by the Qu-en and Council, March Ist, 1659, no keepers of tables might expose flesh to be eaten in Lent, or at any other time forbidden by the Church. Nor were any butchers allowed to slaughter animals for food during the same period, under penalty of a heavy fine, or to stand on the pillory for 6 hours, and suffer imprisonment for 10 days. —City Tress. THE SEINE AND THE SEWERS OF PARIS.-00 this subject, which is attracting so much attention just now, M. Grimaud de Gaux, a competent judge, has addressed a paper to the Academy of Sciences, in which he specially adverts to M. Peligot's experiments. Starting from the fact that the mineral substances con tained in potable water, while they are easy to dis cover, do not affect public hearth, and are rather beneficial to it, but that with organic substances the case is materially different, our author ac knowledges that, by his analysis, M. Peligot has rendered a real service: to society. But as the latter is of opinion that the quantity of mineral principles, however great, is abso lu ely irrelevant in a sanitary point of view, M. Grimaud established a distinction between potable water, of which scarcely a litre per head is consumed, and water intended for manufacturing purposes, the consumption of which is in• finitely greater, and which ought not to contain an excess of mineral principles. In this respec t river water rankse l immediately after rain water, which c ontains no mineral substances rhatever. Passing to the p rinci p al question, our author observes that at Bercy Seine water is good; at the Pont-Neat, it is disagreeable to drink; at Grenelle it cannot be drunk without a great effort, and at Asnieres it spreads an intolerable infection, owing to the discharge of the main sewer of the capital. What, he asks, is the remedy to be adopted ? Let the main sewer be ramified, let its branches carry the offensive matter, not into the Seine, but far into the fields by a regular system of irriga tion. The soil, by absorbing the liquids, neutralises their bad * smell, and becomes itself enriched. The manure rosy also be subjected to certain preliminary manipulations. In 1856 the city of Leicester had, by its sewers, in fected the Soar. Since then, the liquid contents of the sewers are collected in a special receptacle, where they are mixed with slaked lime whereby a precipitate is formed, which, mixed with mud, is made into cakes, and sold for manure. Such a speculation, M. Grimaud thinks, would be extremely profitable in Paris. OYSTER CULTIVATI ON .—Among the places where thy, breeding o f Oysters has been attended with most success during th© last few years, none is more remarkable than the Isle of Rhe, off the west coast of France, near La Rochelle. In 1867, the last natural bed of oysters there was quite exhausted, and the 18,000 in habi ants had no other resources than the cultivation of their barren soil and deep sea fishing, the coast being too muddy for fishing near the shore. In the year, just men tioned, an inhabitant of the island, a mason by trade, having heard of the new method of forming artificial oyster beds, applied to the Government for permission to make the experiment near a bank visible at low water, and obtained, in February, 1853, a grant of 1,800 square metres, He immediately began to enclose his new pro perty by laying brushwood in the mud, and placing large atones on it to make a kind of wall. Iu July he wes preparing to obtain oyster spawn from Brittany, when he observed that his stones were covered with spawn brought by the tide. He then carefully removed them into de e p r water, and awaited the result. In 1860, he gathered oysters to the amount of 1501; in 1861, his sales brought 6001; in 1862, I,ooof ; and last year, 1,2001. His success soon induced other persons to follow his example, and the number o beds round the island is at present 3,010, which in the last four years have produced a sum of 130,000 f. and raised the inhabitants to a state of prosperity previously unknown. _ _ The King of Saxony left Dresden on the 201 h to make his annual tour in his kingdom.

Charles Hurnbert on a charge of having suppressed a will under the following circum stances :—Some 20 years since, a M. Humbert, who made a tolerable fortune cs an ironfounder, died, leaving a widow about 40 years of age, and an only son, the defendant. After attaining her 50th year Madame Humbert found a second hus band in the person of M. Au:;nste Liverdet, with whom she lived till her death, on the 2lst JAnuarv, 1860, after making a will, by which she left all her property to her son, M. Charles Humbert, the defendant, on condition of his paying her second husband a yearly pension of 2,400 f. The will men tioned no other legacy ; much to the disappointment of a niece of the testratrix, Mdlle. Cruzel, who said her aunt had promised to give her 20,000 r., but M. Lsverdet asured her that he had e%refully exd- w - mined all his deceased wife's papers, without find- , fog any will or codicil to that effect. The widower, too, was dissatisfied with the will, and complained bitterly to the universal legatee, notwithstanding the latter had spontaneously consented to pay him 3,000 fr. a year instead of the 2,400 fr, left is the will. Three years later, however, M. Layertiet stated to several of his friends that he had found a paper in his wife's desk, two days after her decease, in which she left her niece I,ooofr. a year for life, and he had given this document to the defendant, in the fall confidence that he would execute his mother's wishes. Madlle. Ci - uzel in consequence applied to the defendant, who denied that Laverdet had ever given him such a document. The present proceedings were then taken. M. Laverdet repeated in court the above statement respecti ng his finding the paper in question and giving it to the defendant, and attempted to explain his long silence, hut apparently not to the satisfaction of the Tribunal, for the Presideat remarked that it was very strange the witness had never once alluded to the existence of this paper in his three years' cor respondence with the defendant, which was not always of the most friendly kind. Several witnesses were examined, but their evidence was most con tradictory, and consisted chit fly of reports of their conversations with Laverdet. The defendant denied that any such paper bad evar been given to him by , Laverdet and declared that the charge was fabri cated for malicious purposes. After a short deliberation the Tribunal decided that the existence of the will was not proved, and accordingly acquitted the defendant. The Correctional Tribunal of Vendome (Cher•at- Loir) has just tried four farmers residing at Epui say, on a charge of obstructing the cure of the parish in the performance of his clerical duties. It appeared from the evidence that, for the last fifteen years a grand mass has been celebrated at Epnisay on the 25th of May, in honour of what is called the "Farmer's Fête," but this year the cure positively refused to continue the usage, alleging as his reason that only five persons attended on the last occasion, and that he wished to avoid affording any opportn4 nity for riotous festivities. This refusal caused great irritation in the parish, and on the morning of the 26th ult., when the cute went to the church to celebrate the usual morning mass, he found the defendants and others waiting close by to pre vent his entering, and a number of broken nails had been put into the lock so that he could not open the door. On the following Sunday, the defendants, with about 70 other persons, again'refused to let him enter the church, and he then withdrew to avoid any dispute. For these offences the defendants were summoned before the tribunal, and the Public Prosecutor pressed for a conviction under Art. 261 of the Penal Code. The tribunal, however, decided that the article in question only applied to disorderly conduct inside the church, and accordingly acquitted the defendants, after severely reprimanding them for their conduct. The Court of Assizes of the Enre has just tried a man named Tainard, manager of the Discount B ank of Pont-Audemer and Louviers, on numerous charges cf embezzlement and falsifying the tic. counts for the purpose of defrauding the share holders. It appears from the indictment that the prisoner, who was well-known for his skill in the banking business, having been employed for many years in first-rate houses, formed a joint-stock company in" 1852 for the purpose of founding a discount bank at Pont-Andemes under the name of Tainard and Co., of which he under took the management. On the 22d December, 1862, the company was declared bankrupt by the Tribunal of Commerce, and the liabilities were found to be 700,000 fr., while the assets were barely 50,000 fr. The prisoner was arrested the same day, as it was evident that fraud must have been prac tised, since the bank had al ways appeared to be a flourishing concern, and had regularly paid divi dends to the shareholders. A public accountant was appointed to examine the books, which he found to be in a most confused state. After 18 months' labour, the accountant presented his report, from which it appeared that the books had been first, and that concern. The i t n b t e e n b t a i n o k n a had f a l w a y s a w l y e d s b from tah losietr3 yearly loss was proved to be 65 ,000 fr. on an average, but the balance sheet presented to the shareholders a lways appeared to justify the declaration of a divi dend. The counsel for the prisoner argued that there had been no fraudulent intention on the part of his client, wh o h a d vigorously struggled against iii fortune, and h a d only m i sre presented the state of the bank in the hope that he should at last be able to retriev e a ll pas t l os ses. After hearing the Pro.. cureur-Imperial, who pressed for a convicti on , t h e jury acquitted the prisoner on the charges of em bezzlement, but found him guilty of falsifying the accounts and of using them for the purpose of de ception. The Court consequently condemned T a iOard to five years' imprisonment, 100 f. fine, and ten years' interdiction of the civil rights mentioned in Art. 42 of the Penal Cade.
